Idaho and Nevada Proposed Con

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-D, lcgate
Haley, OF Idaho, has been, in compan,
with Delegate Carey, of Wyoming, iu
lustr"uSly attempting to run down IA
rumor which ha, been in circulation for
IA little time, which asserts that an cffor,
will be made before the close of the
present congress to add the lower portion
Of Idaho Territory to Nevada, in order
to give that safe, which has ALWAYS
borne the reprcach Of being "rotten

to rntitle it to at least one congressman.
a proposition is pending connected with
the admission of Washington Territory
to cut off the "pau handle as it is called
of Idaho and attach it to Washington

Salmon river, up Horse creek, and W

people Of Idaho, it is asserted, would mol
b. opposed seriously to the arrangement
inasmuch as they see little opportunit,
for early statehood in their present posi-

states that he combination would make

while Idaho is very rich, and it would
i've both states the right Of statehood
and build up more diguiffsd common

for years to come, against the congrss

is proposition in the same connection
to take portion of Utah and add to
Nevada to make larger and somewhat
better shaped state, and it is also asserted
that the joining Of Wyoming and the

in the same relat on. The subject ha.
been discussed in Nevada and Idaho 70,

A Card from Mr.. Wilson.

WILSON'S MILLS, Oct, 25th, 1887.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:-My at
tention has been directed to certain
charges against me, to the effect that
| had voted. when a member of the
Legislature, against certain measures
intended to benefit the laboring
classes. Among the rest, l hear it
specified that l voted against the
MANUFACTURERS and Miners Bill, and
thatu am bad man on general prin-
ciples. because 1 run a saw mill, and
give employment to some of the men
who come to me and ask for it.
1 hav'nt yet heard it charged that
l steal sheep, or that l murdered my
grandmother, but L presume these
little things will be forthcoming
when they come to that part of the
play.
Now the truth of the matter is
not only did not oppose the Manufac-
turers and Miners Bill, but intro.
euced the bill myself, and incorpora-
ted it in the Garrett County Code.
l also voted for oil bills introduced
to benefit the laboring class, as the
records will abundantly prove.
l not only have not advocated any
legislation inimicaI to the interests of
labor, but l have always been an
ardent advocate of the Republican
policy of protection to American
labor and American industries.
| am opposed to the policy of our
Democratic friends, which, by un-
wise legislation, would bring the la
bor OF this county into competition
with the pauper labor of Europe,
don't want incidental protection,
but protection for projections sake.
/ want to see our laborers better
housed, better fed, better clothed and
better educated than would be posi-
BILE if this county were made the
dumping ground for the underpaid
products of Europe.
AT the risk of intru ling on your
crowded space 1 have ventured to
make the above explanation, as [ be-
lieve in fair play, and don't want to
misrepresent anybody. and don't
want to be misrepresented.
Yours very truly,
GEO. w. WILSON.

for a little over an hour, and was at

a summary of his remarks, because

that he would endeavor to speak in

A Card from Mr.. J. z. Browning.

DEEP CREEK. Oct. Oath, 1887.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN I'm justice
to myself please allow me through
your paper to say to my Republican
friends that there are false statements
in circulation about me. First that
l was Vice President at the Dissat-
isfied Voters Convention, at Accident.
My name was used there without my
consent. Neither was | there or had
any desire to go there. In the second
place, some of the Democratic cam
didates say that l have promised to
vote for them and use my influence
to get others to do so, which is en-
tirely false and groundless. In the
third place. that L am using my in
fuence to defeat our candidate for
Sheriff, Mr.. Sollars, is utterly false !;
but on the contrary, I have been do
ing all in my power to encourage the
support of the entire ticket, and 1
ask of all Republicans and all honest
Democrats not to countenance any
such statements. as / am true Re-
publican and expect to remain such |;
and for me to use my influence
against Mr.. Sollars would be to sup
port one of the most unworthy DEM
ocrats in our county, who is not
worthy of support or trust, for he
condescended to the lowest means to
secure the votes of the citizens last
fall at the election in support of
Baughman; and now for him to
come out and ask either Republicans
or honest Democrats to Import him
for one of the best Offices In the coun-
ty is the grossest presumption. |
think it is high time that such con-
duct should be stopped.
AS for me to be ranked with the
sore. heads, am not one. 1 was at
the convention in favor of Geo. D.
White for Sheriff and E. HI. Sincell
for States Attorney, but as the ma
jority was against me l said amen to
1T. and was and am yet satisfied, and
intend to support it to the letter. l
ask all Republicans and honest DEM
ocrats to come out on the 9Th day of
November and vote the full Republic
can ticket. AS the Republicans have
helped to elect all the Democrats that
have ever been elected, we only ask
the same favor in return.
